Frequently asked questions
- What insurance do market traders need?
- Market traders need public liability (most markets require a minimum of £5m), products liability if you sell goods, stock and equipment cover, and employers' liability if you have staff. Some markets also require specific event insurance.
- Does market trader insurance cover multiple locations?
- Yes. A good market trader policy covers you at any UK market, fair, or pop-up location—not just one pitch. Check that your policy doesn't restrict you to named venues only.
- Is pop-up shop insurance different from market stall cover?
- Pop-up shops in fixed premises may need additional cover for the building, contents, and a longer liability period. Market stall cover is designed for temporary outdoor pitches. We can arrange either or both.
